I'm having a thought. On Windows, if you're a member of a AD domain, going to http://wsgfsgsf/ will connect to the domain's DNS servers and attempt to find the computer wsgfsgsf within the AD domain.

The hostname of my server is a FQDN, atlas.flotwigs-server.com. Perhaps somehow the resolver figures that because the server is a member of flotwigs-server.com, it should see if wsgfsgsf exists within the domain. Because of the wildcard, wsgfsgsf.flotwigs-server.com is indeed found.

The question is: how do I disable this behavior? I certainly don't need/want it. Would it be wise to change the hostname of my server to just the name of the server? Is there a better solution?
